Safeguard the informal food market. Part two: meat

Safeguarding the informal food market helps to safeguard health and society. Watch Bassirou Bonfoh demonstrate this with the example of meat.

The last step addressed the example of milk to show that cultural and economic aspects have to be considered, when applying the One Health approach. In this video you discover that the same problems occur when dealing with meat.
